The following sortable table lists the 100 highest major mountain peaks of Canada.
Topographic elevation is the vertical distance above the reference geoid, a precise mathematical model of the Earth's sea level as an equipotential gravitational surface. Topographic prominence is the elevation difference between the summit and the highest or key col to a higher summit. Topographic isolation is the minimum great circle distance to a point of higher elevation.
This article defines a significant summit as a summit with at least 100 metres (328.1 feet) of topographic prominence, and a major summit as a summit with at least 500 metres (1640.4 feet) of topographic prominence. An ultra-prominent summit is a summit with at least 1500 metres (4921.3 feet) of topographic prominence.
Of these 100 highest major summits, 71 are located in British Columbia, 23 in the Yukon, 10 in Alberta, and one each in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Three of these summits lie on the border between Alberta and British Columbia and three lie between British Columbia and the Yukon. Five of these summits lie on the international border between the Yukon and Alaska and two lie between British Columbia and Alaska.
The first 17 of these summits each have at least 4,000 metres (13,123.4 ft) of topographic elevation and at least 500 metres (1,640.4 ft) of topographic prominence.
